Quar Shamar (GER)
Quar Shamar won one of 14 starts, the success coming at Dundalk over 1m to 1m1f on standard going in Apr 2023. All six runs at 6f to 7f and all 12 turf starts have proved fruitless. The gelding, who was aged 5 at his last run in Jul 2025, finished eighth of 18 in the Rockshore Refreshingly Irish Handicap at Galway off an official rating of 81, which was 23lb below his highest ever mark.

A/E compares actual wins with what starting prices implied. "Fair" strips the bookmaker margin from the expectation, so favourites and longshots are judged on the same footing — figures near 1.00 mean the market priced this horse about right.
KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 104
How fast the horse ran, as points against the day-corrected standard time for its course and distance: 100 is the median GB Class 4 handicap winner on that code; one point is 0.1% of the standard time. A, B or C is how much the day's card could tell us, not how good the run was. What this means →
